Why this is the answer
This is a confusing question. Please note that the correct answer is “Just before the closing </head> tag” at the current version of Google Analytics Individual Qualification Exam in English. We will update this file if/when it changes. Note that in Google Analytics Academy assessments a correct answer is different to the same question -Just after the opening <head> tag. Moreover, if you take GAIQ exam in French the correct answer is also “Just after the opening <head> tag”. Tip: In both scenarios GA code will be render blocking and will slow down your website. The best solution is to host analytics locally and put tracking code in the footer. Copyr
